Westringia Blue Gem™ 140MM

Westringia hybrid 'WES03' 'Blue Gem™'

I am Westringia Blue Gem™. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub - Easy Care & Low Maintenance

Plant family Lamiaceae

I am a vivid flowering form of the native coastal rosemary with bluish-purple flowers. As a hardy evergreen shrub I flower throughout most of the year, more profusely in spring, upon attractive grey-green foliage. I thrive in most soils from clay to sand, acid and alkaline but dislike wet feet. I attract native wildlife including birds and insects. I can be clipped to a formal shape but am naturally dense and will develop a rounded form when left unclipped.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

I am ideal in low hedges, borders, mass planted and a good choice for pots and other containers

My vivid flowers are profuse in spring and appear year round

I am ideal for native and coastal gardens attracting bees, butterflies and beneficial insects
